RISCircle-Point Containment, Monte Carlo Method for Shape Matching Based on Feature Points Using the Technique of Sparse Uniform Grids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape matching using their critical feature points is useful in mechanical processes such as precision measure of manufactured parts and automatic assembly of parts. In this paper, we present a practical algorithm for ...
Saturation Flow Models of Exit Lanes for Left-Turn Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A newly proposed unconventional intersection design, exit lanes for left-turn (EFL) intersections, has been demonstrated to be very promising for capacity improvement. However, the difference in saturation flow rates at ...
The Optical Properties of Dual-Wavelength InxGa1−xN/GaN Nanorods for Wide-Spectrum Light-Emitting Diodes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We fabricated the dual-wavelength InxGa1−xN/GaN nanorods for wide-spectrum light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by silica nanosphere lithography (SNL) technique. The emission properties of the dual-wavelength nanorods are characterized ...
A Novel Style Design of a Permanent-Magnetic Adsorption Mechanism for a Wall-Climbing Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetic adsorption mechanisms are widely used for wall-climbing robots to manipulate a locomotive on the surface of a magnetic conducting metal. However, the reported magnetic adsorption mechanisms are subject to the ...
A Novel Design of a Multi-Fingered Bionic Hand With Variable Stiffness for Robotic Grasp
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The robotic hand plays an extremely significant role in completing various robotic tasks, especially for a robot to complete different grasping tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-fingered bionic hand with ...
Parametric Instability of Face Gear Drives Meshing With Multiple Spur Pinions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic behaviors for facegear drives meshing with multiple spur pinions by using the model of a spinning disk with timevarying mesh loads that result from the unique facegear meshing kinematics and ...
Parametric Design of Scalable Mechanisms for Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing allows a direct fabrication of any sophisticated mechanism when the clearance of each joint is sufficiently large to compensate the fabrication error, which frees the designers of cumbersome assembly ...
Experimental Investigation on the Wave Elevation around a Semisubmersible in Monochromatic and Irregular Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the present work, the wave elevation around a floating semisubmersible was experimentally studied in monochromatic and irregular waves. The effect of the direction of incident waves was considered by introducing five ...
Development of a Constant Force Suspended Backpack for Variable Load and Variable Speed Locomotion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Studies have shown that the suspended backpack, a wearable device allowing the backpack moving relative to user’s back, can effectively reduce the accelerative vertical force of the backpack to reduce the metabolic cost ...
Cutting Tool Life Analysis in Heat Pipe Assisted Drilling Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper further focuses on the feasibility and effectiveness of heatpipe cooling in drilling operations based on our previously related work. To achieve this, the authors used a combination of numerical analyses and ...
